Protocol summary

Study aim
The effects of active exercises during dialysis on uremia and hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients
Design
This study is a randomized clinical trial, two groups (intervention and control group), one blind strain, with a sample size of approximately 66 patients. Minimization software will be used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
The location of the study will be the dialysis department of Khurshid Hospital, Isfahan. At first, the letter of introduction to conduct the research will be presented to the head of the department, and then the sampling will be done, the sports program under study will be taught and it will be done in each dialysis session under the supervision of the researcher. Finally, the blood sample will be sent to check and compare the results. Blinding will be done by the data analyst.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: age over 18 years, fixed number of dialysis sessions per week, length of dialysis period more than 3 months, ability to perform active range of motion exercises and pedaling independently, ability to teach exercises, stable hemodynamics during sessions Hemodialysis. Exclusion criteria: pregnancy, history of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and strokes, uncontrolled blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes.
Intervention groups
Each sample in the intervention group started a sports program including active joint range of motion exercises by raising and lowering the limbs and rotating movements, and then in the following weeks, according to the protocol, they started pedaling a stationary bike or a mini bike while will do dialysis. The control group only received routine care during dialysis.
Main outcome variables
blood urea and phosphorus clearance; adequacy of dialysis

Investigating the effect of exercise during dialysis on blood phosphorus and urea clearance
Purpose
Supportive
Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
All dialysis patients who are over 18 years old. All dialysis patients who have a fixed number of sessions per week and undergo hemodialysis 3 times a week and each session lasts for 4 hours. All dialysis patients who have undergone hemodialysis for more than 3 months. All dialysis patients who use a permanent vascular access. All dialysis patients who are able to perform active range of motion exercises and pedal independently. All dialysis patients who have the ability to learn exercises and do not have mental disabilities. All dialysis patients who had stable hemodynamics during hemodialysis sessions in the last 1 month.
Exclusion criteria:
pregnancy. Patients with symptomatic and severe aortic stenosis Patients who have a history of lung disease that requires oxygen therapy Patients who do not have a history of stroke or transient ischemic attacks in the last 3-6 months Patients who have a history of heart attack and unstable angina in the past 3-6 months. Patients with a history of ischemic heart disease Patients who have any disorders in the musculoskeletal system (orthopedic problems, lower limb amputations, etc.) that prevent them from performing the desired sports activities Patients with uncontrolled blood pressure.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The replacement of samples in the groups will be done in the form of random allocation using the minimization method. Minimization is done using MiniPie software (http://minimpy.sourceforge.net). Considering the fact that the distribution of urea in the body of patients undergoing hemodialysis (distribution volume of urea) depends on the age, gender, height and weight of the patient, therefore the parameters of age, gender, height and weight for the random allocation of samples in the soft Software will be defined. After selecting the samples in an easy way, the research associate will give a unique number to the sample and after entering the defined variables into the software, the application will place the patient in the test or control group. In other words, the information of 66 patients enters the software, the software will place 33 patients in the test group and 33 patients in the control group. If the software puts a patient with a certain age, sex, height and weight in the test group, it tries to put a similar patient in the control group in terms of the mentioned characteristics, and if there is no similar sample in the 66 entered list. Sampling will continue until the desired number of samples is provided in both groups and the samples are homogeneous.

Blinding description
It is not possible to be blinded by the researcher and the samples, but blinding will be done by the analyst or statistician.
